Avocado at breakfast: a secret weapon for blood sugar and fullness?
NCT ID NCT06818032
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether eating avocado with a breakfast of bread and jam can improve how the body handles blood sugar and signals hunger or fullness afterward. Thirty healthy adults will compare three different breakfasts — one with avocado, one with added fat and fiber to mimic avocado, and a plain bread-and-jam meal — and have their blood drawn over several hours. The goal is to see if avocado offers unique benefits for glucose control and appetite regulation.
